THE MOCK WEEK

[You find yourself waking in a large dressing room, incredibly spacious, but in intense disarray. The bed is comfortable enough, and each room seems to be equipped with a working bathroom and shower, so it's at least livable. But aesthetically, the place has hit the floor.

The horrifying clock
mounted on the wall reads 9 am. After enough searching, you'll find a large tourist-y map of the studio on one of the dressers. An ominous note attached to the map with a paperclip reads "12PM WAITING AREA". It's not like you have any choice in the matter, seeing as there doesn't seem to be any way out.

Upon exiting the dressing room, you note a crooked star attached to the door bearing your name. There are 24 others like this, bearing names that you may or may not recognize. A quick tour around the studio reveals it to be in a similar state of disrepair, but something doesn't sit...right with you. Though the place is certainly creepy, you get strange vibes as you explore the building. As you move about the dust-filled halls of the abandoned building, you may spot movement out of the corner of your eye, or hear strange noises from behind you. It's nothing to be worried about, though...right?

At the very least, you'll find some comfort. The projection room and attached theater still seem to be in working order, though you'll have to manually grab one of the reels off the wall and start the thing yourself. In addition, the waiting area and lounge are both filled with reading materials, and the later features a large stage and a microphone. The commissary seems to replenish itself with food whenever you take your eyes off of it, ensuring that we won't be going hungry anytime soon. There are also cabinets full of ingredients and a small kitchen should you not trust whatever your benefactor is placing out for you.

Fortunately for them, the smaller individuals amongst your party won't find a great deal of difficulty moving around. Though their beds remain oversized, there seem to be appropriately-sized staircases and escalators placed about in appropriate spots, so as to make their lives easier. After all, they can't just keep relying on the others to get up to the cabinets and such, can they?

While you're waiting to find out what the deal here is, you might as well come out and socialize.]

[What a coincidence, posturing and annoying moralizing are his life skills!]

That's... a pretty good question.

Oh, speaking of questions, I never answered your early one! [Now that he's less scared its time to try and convert a stranger to be the most moral ever] Jiminy Cricket, at your service!

[He tips his hat as he twirls around in a circle in this glob of hair.]

[Oh, manners, mother says I should mind those, she also says I shouldn't talk to strangers but she'll never know if I tell a cricket my name right? Rapunzel convinces herself this is probably fine for now at least, until she finds a way out, and reaches to help untangle him from her hair.]

I'm Rapunzel.

Okay, Jiminy, I'm going to let you out, but you have to promise not to try any funny business. Got it?
whistlenotchirp: (Impressed as impressed can be)

[personal profile] whistlenotchirp 2017-05-09 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no, no funny business here, miss. If my mother taught me anything, it was to keep the funny business to a minimum. No smart alecks in my family, no sir.

[Shut up Jiminy.]

I'm very pleased to hear that. Now hold still.

[Unravelling all the strands, enjoy your freedom.]
whistlenotchirp: (Don't be swayed by bad advice)

[Well with that, he'll cheerfully hop onto the rafter. Because jesus that's quite a drop down for a little cricket.

He does a little stretch of the ol' limbs here, trying to get himself together.
] That's much better! Much obliged, m'lady.

I don't suppose you've seen anybody else acting suspicious down there?

[EVERYONE IS SUSPICIOUS]

I've seen a few people creeping around.
